I dont see why not. On top of the Hotchkis sway bars and the strut bars.We reinforced the car throughout. If there was a shift, the rear install would crack out would it not? Bolt ons aren't the only thing to stiffen up a car .You cannn get a little creative. Anyways I dont see cornering in this car in the near future. LOL

man that is one of the sickest things i ever seen....absolutly beautifull, unique, fun and one of a kind ...just a few questions

- the front bumper and sideskirts arent molded are they ? they just wondering why u didnt?

- Ever think about tying that beautifull orange somehow into the rims, maybe as accents on the spokes ( prob wouldnt work with those wheels too much ) i think that would be hot

- for sh*ts and giggles any idea on how many gallons of fiberglass resin you used in total ? just would be fun to know cause i know its a ton

Well, the side skirts are molded in but we put the body line back in to look cleaner. But no, the front is not just in case we needed to work on the turbo or engine for any reason. And just for giggles we put 30 Gal. worth of resin into the the car but alot of that gets cut away or grinded away when finishing the body work.
I am actually considering changing the wheels out for some sponsored ones if anyone needs a set for a widebodied scion tC.

I love the work that went into it. I don't like the convertible on the tC, but the look still captivates me. There was a Maxima at the Moroso show this past weekend. But the paint work it hot. The fiberglass work is hot. And I'm sure the engine is hot.

THAT IS THE MOST INSANE SHOW TC I'VE EVER SEEN, i admire the hard work and the creativity omg full fiber glass rear panels all the way to the trunk lol thats insane, what kind of rims are those? i may be interested for daily rims for my widebody lol.. and its really hard to sell widebody rims for the tc since its very few widebodies around.

great work man i wish u were down here in the west coast so i could see the work but if u were i wouldn't have a chance at the shows up against u lol..

I've seen this car in person. I was at Layed out at the Park and I must say... I almost fell over and started twitching... I couldn't stop drooling. And yeah, he was out driving this car around at that show too.. lol! ( I noticed you driving it through the grass!)
